The Down Syndrome Advocacy Foundation is a not-for-profit organization [501 (c) (3)] founded by a group of individuals who have children or family members with Down syndrome. DSAF is dedicated to enhancing the lives of individuals with Down syndrome through advocacy and supporting inclusion within schools, communities, and the work place. A lack of consistency exists in the application of best practices for early intervention, education, and inclusion of individuals with Down syndrome in our communities, schools, and work environments. Many communities across the country provide individuals with Down syndrome access to the same educational, recreational, residential and employment opportunities available to those without Down syndrome. However, barriers still exist in some communities that prevent children, adolescents, and adults with Down syndrome from accessing the same opportunities as their typical peers. DSAF believes that individuals with Down syndrome have the right to be respected as valued members of society with their own level of independence, self-determination, and sense of belonging in the community. This can best be achieved by being allowed full community involvement.

Through the Broome County Health Department, this program focuses on identification and coordination of essential services for children (birth through three years) at risk of, or suspected of physical/developmental delay. Referral to appropriate developmental and health services. Ensures central role of family enhancing child's development.

Sibshops are monthly gatherings where the brothers and sisters of children with special needs can get together for fun and education in a lively, recreational setting.

Sibshops are pedal-to-the-metal events where kids get to:

•Meet their peers

•Have fun

•Talk about the good and not-so-good parts of having a sib with special needs with others who “get it”

•Play some great games

•Learn how other brothers and sisters handle sticky situations

•Laugh

•Learn something about the services their brothers and sister receive

•Have some more fun

Sibshops are monthly. They coincide with the Learn and Grow Playgroup.

To find the next Sibshops gathering, visit our calendar.
